Good Afternoon,
Lt.

The Administration would appreciate your support in getting this message out to the public as soon as possible to ensure Massachusetts homeowners are getting the help they need during difficult times.

Local Couple Buys Affordable Condominium;
Realizes Dream of Home-ownership!
Jennifer and Christopher Orne
Earlier this month Jennifer and Christopher Orne of Falmouth realized a personal dream. The Falmouth couple purchased a deed-restricted affordable, three bedroom, 1.5 bath condominium in East Falmouth. This was the 4th time the couple went through the vetting process for an affordable unit, having lost out on three previous opportunities to buy an affordable home.
“We are extremely happy,” said Jennifer Orne, who works for the Visiting Nurse Association. “We are thankful that affordable home-ownership opportunities are still available for hard-working Falmouth natives such as ourselves. My husband works for the Steamship Authority and combined we don’t make a lot of money, but we work hard and have good credit and modest savings. We have always dreamed of owning our own home, and now our dream has finally become a reality,” she said.
